QuestionCalculate the energy used for a hike of in different energy units. Refer to Section 3.4 for help.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The energy used for the hike is750 kcal. We need to convert this energy to other units
STEP 2
We'll start by converting kcal to cal. We know that1 kcal equals1000 cal.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given value for the energy in kcal to calculate the energy in cal.
STEP 4
Calculate the energy in cal.
STEP 5
Next, we'll convert kcal to Joules. We know that1 kcal equals approximately4184 Joules.
STEP 6
Now, plug in the given value for the energy in kcal to calculate the energy in Joules.
STEP 7
Calculate the energy in Joules.
STEP 8
Finally, we'll convert kcal to BT. We know that1 kcal equals approximately0.00397 BT.
STEP 9
Now, plug in the given value for the energy in kcal to calculate the energy in BT.
STEP 10
Calculate the energy in BT.
The energy used for the hike is750,000 cal,3,138,000 J, and2.98 BT.
